Chapter 1426
The tense atmosphere from their just–ended Board of Directors meeting had barely subsided, and
they were about to call for another meeting right away.
The purpose of this meeting was well–known. Thest board meeting aimed to decide the next
chairman between Robin and Damon. In the end, Damon not only refrained from participating in the
competition for the chairman position but also resigned from his role in front of all shareholders.
However, the final appointment letter had not yet been officially issued, so they could only act as if
nothing had happened.
Damon still held the position of CEO.
This time was different from the past because rumors were circting within thepany that
Presley intended to announce at the uing board meeting that Robin would seed as
chairman. Indeed, these rumors were true.
Yesterday’s video from Y Country’s airport showed Wendy initially in a wheelchair. Some media
outlets had raised doubts about this. Early this morning. Cole, who was far away in Y Country,
invited reporters from the domestic news agency stationed in Y Country to hold a press conference
and provide an exnation for Wendy’s situation.
At this moment, in Damon’s office, the video of the press conference held by Cole, intentionally
circted domestically, was also being yed.
Cole said in front of the media, ‘Everyone knows that the Harper family and the Alonso family have
been close friends for many years. My daughter Wendy and the eldest grandson of the Harper
family have grown up together as good friends. Even if there is no love between the two, there is
deep friendship. Everyone is curious about why my daughter is sitting in a wheelchair. Now I will
answer you It’s all because of the eldest grandson of the Harper family. Wendy has six bullet holes
in her body.
all.
“I cant even imagine. Damon is also a child I watched grow up, and he shouldn’t be such a cruel
and ruthless person. However, he has harmed my daughter, the girl he has taken care of since
childhood, in this way If there is any reason for him to be like this, I think it must be due to Ms.
Chloe’s influence. I believe that she’s jealous and unwilling, afraid that Damon will leave her
because of family and identity reaso
asons to be with Wendy, and that takes this opportunity to speak ill of Wendy in front of Damon,
Damon would not do such a thing.
“The rtionship between the Alonso family and the Harper family has been maintained for so
many years, and it’s really not easy. I am also willing to believe that Damon is only temporarily
infatuated with
that woman.
“Nevertheless, I want to say, if a man who controls the entire Harper Group, listens only to a
woman’s words, the Harper Group will undoubtedly pay a substantial price for this in the near
future.
“For the benefit of the Harper Group, I want to issue a warning. If Damon persists in his infatuation
and remains involved with that woman, it may be prudent for the Harper Group to seek alternative
management in the future.”
His final remarks appeared casual but carried a semnce of reason.
Nheless, with the imminent board meeting and Cole’s released video, Damon undoubtedly
faces a significant setback. As the heir to the Harper Group, Darion had often been influenced by a
woman, making him prone to disruptions in his decision–making.
Damon arched an eyebrow, turned his head to face the silent Nate, and requested, “Provide a
summary of his intent.”
Nate bit his lip, swallowed nervously, and spoke with a serious tone, “In essence, Mr. Alonso
suggests that Mrs. Harper is a perilous seductress, and you, in turn, are an ineffectual ruler.”
Damon fell into a brief silence, then smiled and remarked, “A perilous seductress. He summarized it
well.
Nate was speechless and thought to himself, “Could you be a tad more serious, Mr. Harper?! It’s
quite evident that you werebeled a ‘useless emperor, yet the emphasis still lingers on the perilous
seductress. Doesn’t that appear somewhat too casual?!”
“Indeed, Mrs. Harper is exceptionally beautiful.” Nate said.
“Ha–ha!” A familiarughter echoed. Nathan, seated on the couch, was engrossed in his game but
found amusement in Nate’s words.
“I often wondered why you’ve been so close to my brother all these years. It seems there’s a good
reason. You’re quite skilled at ttery!” Nathan said.
Damon casted a sidelong nce at Nathan. “ttery?”
Nathan promptly set aside his phone and embraced the role of a devoted follower, offering a
thumbs–up as he eximed, “Your wife is genuinely charming, intelligent, and courageous!”
Nate felt like facepalming. These two brothers were indeed a handful. One appeared suave, yet his
humor was helplessly natural. The other appeared serious, but in moments of levity, he might be
less serious than anyone else.

In any case, each of these two brothers was more unconventional than the other.
What time was it now, the board meeting started at ten tomorrow morning.
Cole was suddenly holding this press conference; clearly, he wanted him to resign.
Who would dare to hand over a bigpany to a useless emperor addicted to women? Did these
two brothers have no feeling at all now? They still felt quite happy. Mr. Harper, was he really a
useless emperor?
However, the next moment, he saw Mr. Harper sitting there, and his expression on his face had
be serious at some point.
Nate straightened up a bit. Now, that was more like the usual Mr. Harper. But what the heck was he
thinking?
Right now, all the cards were in Presley’s hands. Presley had always had a thing for the Alonso
family. Rumors were rife that he had nned to hand the Chairmanship to Robin this time.
If he was still a bit hesitant, then the press conference hosted by Cole had pretty much shattered
any doubts he might have had. Presley was utterly disappointed in Damon. It was anyone’s guess
how he was going to keep his chairmanship.
“Mr. Harper, about the meeting tomorrow.” Nate said.
Damon pushed the files in front of him to one side, resting his slender fingers on the edge of the
table. “Although my grandfather’s shares can indeed determine the next chairman, it might be a bit
tough to get everyone’s approval.
“So, you don’t have topete for the chairmanship!” A cold voice rang out, and the door to
Damon’s office was pushed open.
At the door was Yasmine in a wheelchair. Damon paused, then stood up, asking, “Why are you here
so early?”
As he spoke, he gestured for Nate to prepare some coffee for the guest.
Yasmine rolled to the center of the office and stopped, “I watched Cole’s press conference. He is
clearly siding with Robin. Considering your grandpa’s timid nature, unless you agree to marry
Wendy, you won’t stand a chance against Robin for the chairmanship.”
